7.7.2 CPI Communications
If data collection from the anemometer is to be done by a datalogger using CPI
communications, then connect a CSAT3BCBL2 to the
Power/SDM
port by
screwing in the M16 connector into the port until tight.
A CSAT3BCBL1 may also be used for power, but the SDM wires
will not be used. The CSAT3BCSBL1 also has lighter gauge
power wires, which increases voltage loss over long cable length,
so it should only be used for shorter cable lengths.
Next, connect a CSAT3BCBL3 to the CPI/RS-485 port in the same manner.
If only one CSAT3B is being measured, the opposite end of the power cable
should have pigtail wire leads which may be wired to the 12 V and G terminals
on a datalogger or to another 12 to 32 Vdc power supply. The CPI cable
should have the RJ-45 connector plugged into the CPI port of the datalogger.
